    Study Notes

    Standard of Living and Materials

    • Standard of living reflects the availability of goods and services to a society’s people.
    • Manufactured goods split into two categories:
      • Producer goods (intermediate goods for production).
      • Consumer goods (purchased directly by consumers).

    Product Development

    • Sustaining technology enhances innovations, offering greater consumer value through improved materials and design.
    • Product development typically follows an “S” curve trajectory.

    Product Life Cycle Stages

    • Start-up: Introduction of new product/company with low volume.
    • Rapid Growth: Standardization occurs, and production volume increases swiftly; capacity often strained.
    • Maturation: Emergence of standard designs; significant for process development.
    • Commodity: Standard long-life products; Decline phase sees replacement by enhanced alternatives.

    Interactive Manufacturing Factors

    • Key factors in manufacturing include product design, materials, labor costs, equipment, and overall manufacturing costs.
    • Manufacturing costs typically encompass about 40% of the final selling price, with material costs making up around 50% of manufacturing expenses.

    Materials and Process Integration

    • Selecting materials aligned with design requirements is crucial for effective production and quality control.
    • The interplay among materials, processes, and design is vital to maintaining low costs and quality.

    Manufacturing and Production Systems

    • Manufacturing meets societal demands by converting inputs into goods and services.
    • Production systems encompass all company resources, including people, management, equipment, and markets.

    Basic Manufacturing Processes

    • Core processes include casting, metalworking, machining, assembly, surface treatments, rapid prototyping, and heat treating.

    Major Manufacturing Techniques

    • Basic machining processes: shaping, drilling, turning, milling, sawing, broaching, and abrasive machining.
    • Types of machine tools include shapers, drill presses, lathes, and grinders.

    Manufacturing Operation Dynamics

    • Jobs entail related operations performed at specific stations.
    • Categories of operations encompass handling, processing, packaging, inspecting, and storing.

    Products from Manufacturing

    • Manufacturing leads to products via fabricating (from pieces) or processing (continuous operations).
    • Workpieces aim for specific geometry, size, and finish.

    Engineering Roles in Manufacturing

    • Design engineers focus on functionality, assumptions, service environments, and final appearance.
    • Manufacturing engineers select processes and equipment; industrial engineers handle layout, while materials engineers specify and develop materials.

    Evolving Manufacturing Landscape

    • Global competition, advanced technologies, and innovative manufacturing system strategies have transformed the industry.

    Manufacturing System Designs

    • Job shops focus on variety, flow shops on volume, linked-cell shops on lean production, and project shops on immobile items.
    • Continuous processes manufacture fluids and powders.

    Characteristics of Process Technology

    • Key factors include mechanics, economics, time spans, skills, flexibility, and process capability.

    New Manufacturing Systems

    • Toyota Production System exemplifies lean manufacturing, emphasizing continuous flow, integrated quality control, and systematic quality improvement.

    World Class Manufacturing (WCM)

    • WCM promotes ongoing rapid improvement and emphasizes efficiency in processes and reduction of lead times to enhance customer satisfaction.
